The odds will be closer to EVEN on fight night, unless somebody has been making excuses leading-up to the match.
I choose EM to win, again by a close but clear decision. Difference though is that Manny comes out less cautious than last time, gunning for that early KO, and gets some good rounds. But, is frustrated by EM's chin, coupled with the skilled counterpunching, again.
His pick was pretty conservative. He wasn't predicting a blowout, at all.
Looked like a solid analysis. Early on, it looked like that poster's view was gonna be a reality.
Manny turned the heat up too much for Erik to handle, however.
EM's jab was his own undoing. It was proven true that once EM tries to think he's smart enough to live with his jab, then he will be in for a nasty surprise.
Morales is bigger, but he is older, has just lost a fight, and will have to kill himself to make weight. This will take some toll on him after the relief he had of fighting at 135. It's no surprise Morales is not the favorite.
Among hardcore fans though, I think Morales is truly the one who is thought to win. However, assuming Pacquiao is not cut in this fight, and given that his camp has been ridded of extras so he can focus 100% on Morales, and considering the minimal gain of confidence Pac will have from using his brand of gloves, I'd say it's fair to argue Pac will win.
